CA NCLEX RESULTS breakdown

[Korosensei]

Preface: Seems like there is a lot of new people here asking how long it took for their NCLEX results to show up on BREEZE. I am writing this per to my experience, research, and discussion.

1: Once you have completed your NCLEX, the Pearson Vue testing center should send out your results.

• If you are going to the the PVT, wait after 24 hours to do it because it is scored twice.
  
• PVT before 24 hours: you can get the bad pop up result & still pass the nclex but only before the 24th hour.
  
• CA does NOT participate in Quick Results.
  

1.1: BRN receives your results and it gets auto processed

• ​You get your results within 48-36 hour or within 5 business days excluding weekends and holidays.
  
• Your pending status goes away and your RN license # shows on the top right
  
• Your pending status goes away and your RN licnese # shows on the top right after 24 hours
  
• Your pending results disappear and receive a fail letter within 2 weeks
  

1.2: BRN receives your results and your get manually processed

• It can take up to 2-4 weeks.
  

1.3: It has been 2 weeks and still no results

• Most likely did not pass, wait for your fail letter in the mail.
  
• If you do the PVT and it takes your money, then you did not pass
  

1.3.1: It has been 2 weeks and still no results with PVT GOOD POP UP

• Call the BRN with this number [phone]
  
• Ask if your file is complete or missing anything like your TRANSCRIPTS
  

2: its been 2 weeks+, PVT good pop up, No fail letter, and BRN file is complete

• It is most likely that your PEARSON VUE center DID NOT send in your results to the BRN.
  
• You can try to call your pearson vue center about your test results and if they have sent them.
  
• Apparently the BRN cannot officially do anything until you have waited the official 4-6 weeks wait time found here: Board of Registered Nursing - Processing Times
  

epilogue:

I waited 4 weeks for my results to come in. I called the BRN and they told me everything is complete. After the 4 weeks they found out that my results has not been sent in. They emailed their pearsonvue coordinator to retrieve my results & it showed up 24 hours later. Like stated above, BRN has a strict policy that they cannot do anything until the wait period is up. I even asked the BRN People to make sure that pearson vue sent in my results and they cannot tell you if they did or not. IDK WHY, but its their policy.
